Seamless Multi-Touch Surface
Magic Mouse — with its low-profile design and seamless top shell — is so sleek and dramatically different, it brings a whole new feel to the way you get around on your Mac. You can’t help but marvel at its smooth, buttonless appearance. Then you touch it and instantly appreciate how good it feels in your hand. But it’s when you start using Magic Mouse that everything comes together.
The Multi-Touch area covers the top surface of Magic Mouse, and the mouse itself is the button. Scroll in any direction with one finger, swipe through web pages and photos with two, and click and double-click anywhere. Inside Magic Mouse is a chip that tells it exactly what you want to do. Which means Magic Mouse won’t confuse a scroll with a swipe. It even knows when you’re just resting your hand on it.
Laser-Tracking Engine
Magic Mouse uses powerful laser tracking that’s far more sensitive and responsive on more surfaces than traditional optical tracking. That means it tracks with precision on nearly every surface — whether it’s a table at your favorite cafe or the desk in your home office — without the need for a mousepad.


Round Floating Bed

Round Floating Bed

Below you could find a very interesting contemporary bed which combines two the most fashionable trends in the bed’s design. It’s suspended and round at the same time. Nowadays round beds are very trendy because they looks very original and at the same time could provide comfortable sleeping. Thanks to unusual base, designers have managed to achieve an interesting visual effect of absolutely floating bed. This bed is offered by an Italian manufacturer Lago and is a part of the big collection called Fluttua. Its base is covered with leather, which is available in different colors. One more useful advantage of this round bed is an opportunity to adjust its height. The built–in lights add a charming touch to it and could create an amazing atmosphere in any modern bedroom.

Concrete LED Facade

Concrete LED Facade

Developed by the German Dominik Kommerell and Angela Renz University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart, discovered an astonishing concrete façade incorporating a series of LEDs controllable remotely, transforming a lifeless facade in real media. An idea of the most interesting and promising, both in terms of road safety signage applications for uses more artistic or advertising.

Original description

Can a deactivated media facade transform into an architectural surface? Or conversely phrase the question - can an architectural surface temporarily become a media facade? The project offer a possible answer to these questions - the architectural surface is, when activated, a media facade that can display media content without having a continuing need for new media content. This need is usually the result of media technology that exists as an added element onto architectural surfaces, which - when deactivated - unmasks the assembly of components. Through an amalgam of architectural technology and one area can create an integrated media-augmented element that is able to transform into either a space-defining element or a message-delivery vehicle.

The ‘Medien und Raum’ Studio is a master stroke subject taught by Dr. Haeusler at the University of Applied Sciences in Stuttgart (Stuttgart HFT). The Studio is part of a new research focus at the university on media architecture and interactive architecture. ‘Medien und Raum’ focused on the architectural integration of state-of-the-art media technology. The project ‘Concrete Exterior LED’ by Angela Renz and Dominik Kommerell is a prototype Resulting from this studio course. The project was conducted as scientific research project where conditions and materials were tested and documented. The prototype is a result of this research.

Concrete Rock Ring

Concrete Rock Ring

It is a unique ring, the Concrete Rock Ring($103). Made of high-density concrete and stainless steel.

By 22 Designstudio.


Because of the material character, the colour of the concrete ring will become deeper and brighter the more it’s touched. And it may develop some cracks and chips, reflecting the habits of the ring’s owner. It is unique every day, even every moment.
